Compost

From an environmental perspective, composting plays a vital role in reducing landfill waste and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. By diverting organic waste from landfills, where it would release harmful methane gas during decomposition, composting helps to minimize our carbon footprint and combat climate change. Moreover, composting fosters nutrient cycling, promoting a closed-loop system where organic materials are recycled and returned to the soil rather than being lost to landfill disposal.

On the soil health and food security front, compost serves as a natural fertilizer, enriching soil with essential nutrients and organic matter. This enhances soil structure, improves water retention, and encourages beneficial microbial activity, resulting in healthier, more productive plants. Additionally, compost-amended soils are better equipped to withstand environmental stressors such as drought and erosion, contributing to long-term food security and resilience in agricultural systems.
